It’s not mentioned in the article, but my biggest problem with those who use the rhetoric of taxes being raised when the Bush tax cuts sunset, is that it really should then be phrased as the GOP raising them.

The GOP controlled congress made the choice to use the shortcut of Reconciliation to pass both the 2001 tax cuts and the 2003, and since they also could not be bothered to offset their cost and pay for them, the Reconciliation process required they last no longer than 10 years. It is the GOP that legislated the upcoming “tax increase”.

Also, if the Dems are smart they’ll accurately frame their renewing of the middle class part of the tax cuts as a very large, brand new cut, leaving the GOP to advocate for a brand new cut exclusively for those in the topmost tax brackets.

Now anyone who wants to can call her a liar to her face or in any media or print and use this as a concrete reference. I love it!

That’s probably the main reason she won’t face the real, non-Fox “News”/talk radio, media.
